            I sounds like you may have tried to upgrade directly to MODx 2.0 from an earlier version (0.9.x). I’m afraid that doesn’t work at this point. You need to do a clean install of 2.0, then move the old site manually by cutting and pasting at this point.

                Here is a well-written guide by BobRay. It’s a bit dated, but still applicable for today:

                    I believe shamblett’s Provisioner can be installed in both Evo and Revo and allows you to save a site in Evo, then load it in Revo if you have the Revo Gateway installed in Evolution.
                    I have not tried it and don’t know anything else about it, though.
